Just some filler...
SAM, an engaging and interactive online learning environment, helps students master Microsoft Office and computer concepts essential to academic and career success. Students observe, practise, then apply their new skills live in the application. The best part is, it’s working! In a survey of students using the platform, 73% felt SAM better prepared them for interacting in the Microsoft Office environment. And the benefits don’t just stop at students. Instructors save time and energy with auto-graded assignments and flexible reporting tools.
Prepare students for the real world
Real-world experience enables students to understand how software works. Simulations in SAM accommodate multiple learning styles, so students learn Microsoft Office and computer concepts inside and out. To inform mastery, students complete live projects, then submit in SAM for automatic feedback.
Track and report student progress
Learn what’s broken, so you can fix it! SAM tracking and reporting pinpoints areas needing extra attention, so you can get the full progress picture. In addition to gradebook insights, SAM reporting options analyse performance at the student or section level, while exam playback highlights precisely where students went wrong.
Streamline class creation
Courseware can energise your classroom when it’s implemented effectively. The easy-to-use SAM interface gets you and your students up and running fast. Customised assignments that map to each book’s specific learning objectives streamline course set-up, while the ability to copy sections from one term to the next and roll out master courses to other instructors saves valuable teaching time.
User Testimonials
“I don’t know how you could effectively teach an online course in Office applications if you didn’t use SAM.”
“Compared to other companies’ products, SAM is easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to maintain. It’s also easy to set up and administrate because I’m the administrator. And, of course, it makes learning Microsoft Office easier too.”
“SAM has actually helped me more in class because it lets us do an unlimited amount of training. If we do need help with something, we can just log onto SAM and do it.”
